  <h2>News</h2>
  <ul class="High">
  
    <li>Because Sourceforge removed the product <tt>Wikispace</tt>,
    our wiki has moved to the new <a href="http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/smartmontools/">Trac</a>.</li>
    <li>We moved our CVS-Repository to Subversion and
    adjusted the <a href="http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/smartmontools/wiki/Download#InstalllatestunreleasedcodefromSVNrepository">download instructions</a> 
    accordingly. Christian Franke added a first feature which benefits from the change:
    If build from trunk, the first line of smartmontools output now reports the SVN revision date and number, e.g:
    <span class="code">smartctl 5.39 2009-07-16 r2838 [i686-pc-linux-gnu] (local build)</span>.
    So if you send smartctl output, we can now identify the exact revision :-)</li>
    
    <li>Our work in the field USB bridges goes on. Experimental support for 
    <img src="pics/linkext.gif" width="11" height="11" border="0" alt="extLink: " />
    <a href="http://w3.sunplusit.com/english/products/storage/SPIF225A.aspx">Sunplus
    USB bridges</a> is available now with new option <tt>-d usbsunplus</tt>.
    <a href="http://www.jmicron.com/Product_JM20336.htm">JMicron USB to (S)ATA bridges</a>
    with option <tt>-d usbjmicron[,1]</tt>.
    Thanks to the vendors for handing over the necessary specs.
    We are very interested in your test results with the new device type
    and collect all feedbacks in our Wiki-Page on 
    <a href="http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/smartmontools/wiki/Supported_USB-Devices">USB-Support</a>. 
    Get <strong>current version</strong> from <a href="http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/smartmontools/wiki/DownloadInstalllatestunreleasedcodefromSVNrepository">SVN</a>

 <p>The smartmontools package contains two utility programs 
 (<font color="#3333ff"><b>smartctl</b></font> and <font color="#3333ff"><b>smartd</b></font>) 
 to control and monitor storage systems using the Self-Monitoring, Analysis and 
 Reporting Technology System (SMART) built into most modern ATA and SCSI harddisks. 
 In many cases, these utilities will provide advanced warning of disk degradation and failure.</p>
 
 <p>Smartmontools supports ATA/ATAPI/SATA-3 to -8 disks and <a href="smartmontools_scsi.html" target="_blank">SCSI</a> 
 disks and tape devices. It should run on any modern Darwin (Mac OS X), Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, 
Solaris, OS/2, Cygwin, QNX, eComStation or <a href="faq.html#windows">Windows</a> system. 
Smartmontools can also be run from one of many different <a href="faq.html#bootable">bootable 
CDs or floppies</a>. Due to OS-specific issues and also depending on the different state of smartmontools 
development on the platforms, device support ist not the same for all OS platforms. We provide info
about <a href="docs/raid-controller_support.html">RAID-controller support</a> here on the homepage
and of course in the <a href="http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/smartmontools/wiki/TocDoc#Manpages">manpages</a>.</p>

 <p>Thanks to Alexander Shaduri, there is also a graphical user interface for <tt>smartctl</tt>
 available. Go to the Homepage of <a href="http://gsmartcontrol.berlios.de/">
 <img src="pics/linkext.gif" width="11" height="11" border="0" alt="extLink: " />GSmartControl</a>
 to get all info and the software itself. Have a look at the 
 <a href="http://gsmartcontrol.berlios.de/home/index.php/en/Screenshots">
 <img src="pics/linkext.gif" width="11" height="11" border="0" alt="extLink: " />screenshots</a>
 and the <a href="http://gsmartcontrol.berlios.de/home/index.php/en/About">
 <img src="pics/linkext.gif" width="11" height="11" border="0" alt="extLink: " />feature list</a> 
 to get an impression of this nice tool.</p>

 <p>If smartmontools is not already installed on your system, then go to our 
 <a href="http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/smartmontools/wiki/Download">download section</a> to get it. You will also find installation instructions 
for different operating systems and distributions. If you are looking for smartmontools 
user guides and tutorials, go to the <a href="http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/smartmontools/wiki/TocDoc">documentation page</a>. 
Scan section <a href="faq.html">Frequently asked Questions</a>, if you have 
specific problems or questions. Further support is available via the <a href="http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/smartmontools/wiki/Help">help page</a>.</p>

 <p>Last but not least, the <a href="http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/smartmontools/wiki/Team">about page</a> describes the people 
behind smartmontools. And we provide an extended <a href="http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/smartmontools/wiki/Links">link list</a> with additional background information 
and links to other monitoring resources.</p>

 <p>Smartmontools was originally derived from the Linux <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/smartsuite/">
<img src="pics/linkext.gif" width="11" height="11" border="0" alt="extLink: " />smartsuite package</a>.</p>
